The President in Iowa: “We don’t have to collect a bunch of binders”
By on
For his first campaign stop after last night’s debate, President Obama went to Cornell College in Iowa to talk to a crowd of fired-up students and families about the clear choice for the next generation:
“We could gut education, pay for Governor Romney’s $5 trillion tax cut—or we can recruit 100,000 new math and science teachers over the next decade—helping our young people refocus on science and technology, engineering, math. We should make sure all our young people—our daughters as well as our sons—are thriving in these fields. This should be a national mission.
“I've got to tell you, we don’t have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women ready to learn and teach in these fields right now.”

President Obama to Ohio
By on
The values that we are fighting for don't belong to one party or one group. They're not black or white, or Hispanic or Asian or Native America, or gay or straight, or disabled and not disabled—they are American values. They belong to all of us.
And I am absolutely positive that we are not as divided as our politics suggest. I still believe we’ve got more in common than our pundits tell us. I still believe in you. And I’m asking you to keep believing in me.
Ohio, I’m asking you for your vote. And if you’re willing to stand with me and work with me, knock on some doors and make some phone calls for me, we’ll win Franklin County again. We’ll win Ohio again. We’ll win this election again.
—President Obama at The Ohio State University

The First Lady in Virginia: “We’re about action today”
By on
“For the next 28 days we need you to work like you’ve never worked before. You hear me? Sign up with one of our volunteers here today to make phone calls, to knock on doors. I want you, more importantly, to talk to everyone you know—your friends, your neighbors, that nephew you know who's not registered. Smack him in the back of the head! The classmates you haven't talked to in years—call them. Tell them what’s at stake. Make sure they register to vote.
“And see, this is important, because the voter registration deadline here in Virginia is Monday, October the 15th. So it's coming, right? So I don’t want anybody waking up on Election Day going, ‘I'm going to vote!’ and they didn’t register. Especially if you're a new voter, if you've moved, right? Students, you've got a new address, you've got to re-register. So you can get registered today, because we've got volunteers here with clipboards and forms today. We’re about action today.”
—First Lady Michelle Obama in Leesburg, VirginiaAs the fired up crowd poured out of the rally at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds, many supporters took the First Lady’s message to heart and got themselves registered and ready to vote before the deadline.
